Umm, promises, promises, promises 
Baby, promise that you'll never leave me 
Baby, promise that we'll always be 
Together, forever 
Please don't go 

Lady, promise that you'll never leave me 
Babe, promise that we'll always be 
Don't go, don't go 

I'm leaving you this message 
I'm sorry that I couldn't be home 
But one night while I was out on the road 
I didn't spend the night alone, no 
I let my weakness get the best of me 
She was just a one night stand 
I know I was wrong 
Just don't leave me alone 
Without you in my life 
I'm only half a man 

I got your message 
And I can't believe the things you said 
Now that the shoe is on the other foot 
It's messing with my head, oh 

I'm writing you this letter 
Cuz I couldn't tell you face to face 
I let temptations get the best of me 
I know it was a big mistake. baby 
No I don't ever wanna loose your love 
Cuz my heart couldn't take the pain 
I know I was wrong 
Just don't leave me alone 
Cuz nothin in my life would ever be the same 

I got your letter 
And I can't believe the things I read, no 
Now that the shoe is on the other foot 
It's messin' with my head, oh
